Cooking & Editing

I spent the most part of today editing hundreds of images from my past two assignments and as I resigned myself to leave my desk to start dinner for my family I was reminded of how much I hate doing so.

Nothing against my family, of course, but the truth is that I hate making dinner!! If it were up to me I'd rarely cook. In part, the thought of being responsible for what my family consumes every day is too big a responsibility.

However, speaking of responsibilities, I find it funny, that I would prefer photographing a wedding rather than making dinner. I surprise myself with this thought since a wedding is a couple's most important day of their life and yet that kind of monumental responsibility, I run towards!

To each their own. Photographing the day of the event is one thing, but my husband, for example doesn't understand how I can spend hours going thru images I've captured, culling, cropping, editing, etc. But for me, it's such a beautiful creative process to tell a story thru images. I envy those who find this kind of creative joy in preparing a daily meal. It would certainly make my evenings a little merrier!
